About this map

The Minnesota River meanders through this landscape, defining the lowlands between the growing communities of Shakopee and Chaska. This 2019 survey documents a highly developed suburban corridor where modern infrastructure like the Shakopee Byp and Chestnut Blvd intersects with long-standing local landmarks. Notable industrial artifacts are visible in the terrain, such as the Brickyard Clayhole and Firemens Clayhole, reflecting the area's history of resource extraction near the riverbanks.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites preserved across the quadrangle, including Saint Hubert Catholic Cem and the Prairie Flower (Pioneer Cem) in Chanhassen. These sites, along with the Moravian Cem and Guardian Angel Cem, provide critical touchstones for local family history research. The presence of numerous water bodies like Hazeltine Lake and Lake Minnewashta highlights the post-glacial topography that has come to define the residential character of Victoria and Eden Prairie.
